Is GNSS jamming really as bad a problem as the article makes it seem?
The article itself reads like guerilla advertising so I'm inclined not to take it at face value.
I also read the same guerilla advertising for an alternative between the lines. If I understood it correctly from the article, the alternative itself is basically more of the same, but with a stronger signal.
So they basically will launch 300 satellites with an alternative that will face the exact same issues once jamming output signals increase too?

First few minutes give a summary, remainder is about DLR's attempt to fix it.
Also, https://gpsjam.org/ (ADS-B data from planes, hence limited coverage area.)
In some parts of the world, it's getting bad. My partner is Lithuanian, and she/we go back there often. They're having a lot of issues there because of Russia.
Near a warzone with consumer hardware? Yes.
Military hardware uses different signals, encryption, more advanced receivers, etc etc, but these things are on ITAR lists and not shared with the public.
It's a little surprising to me that there's a commercial venture that has been allowed to provide these things to the public at some point.
Veritasium did a video a few weeks ago about scientists trying to figure out where a space based GPS jamming signal came from. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tz23G_UXCGA
